Why Implant Companies Should Choose Pouches over Vials for Dental Implant Packaging
Why vials were used in the past?
Dental implants were first commercialized for the industry by using vials as it was a relatively okay solution to ensure the implants that were sterile and would remain so. Injectable water vials were the first packaging solution for dental implants. Many factories were easily capable of of making injectable water vials due to how inexpensively they could be made as well as being a reliable solution to seal the implants off.

Dental Evolutions Inc. introduced the first self-grafting, self-osteomizing dental implant system at the Annual Academy of Osseointegration’s Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA on Thursday, February 18th, 2016. “After studying, placing and restoring dental implants for more than 25 years, I thought of many improvements and noticed many shortcomings and limitations of existing dental implant systems. They are too expensive, too cumbersome, with too many parts to satisfy different implant case,” says founder of Dental Evolutions Inc. and inventor of Implanova, Parsa T. Zadeh, DDS, MAGD, FICOI.
